About this study

In collaboration with the Mercy MS Achievement Center, Lumos Labs is proposing an open-label, 12-month pilot study of computerized cognitive training as part of the cognitive wellness program in order to evaluate (1) the user experience of Lumosity in individuals with MS, and (2) the efficacy of Lumosity for improving cognitive outcomes in individuals with MS.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 50 current members of the Mercy MS Achievement Center will be provided with 12-month premium access Lumosity accounts. Study participants must be ≥18 years of age, and currently members of the Achievement Center participating in the cognitive wellness program. Those who consent will be provided with an account activation code and instructed on how to sign up for Lumosity.

Upon creating an account, users would be asked to complete a short demographic survey (Information About You, which includes age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, occupation) and two additional short surveys: a Computer Experience Questionnaire and a Perceptions of Brain Training questionnaire. In addition, participants will be assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), and be directed to take the Brain Performance Test (on a laptop or desktop computer) within the first 7 days of creating their account. If not conducted within the previous 3 months, participants would also be required to have the following assessments at baseline (i.e., within the first 7 days): Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Questionnaire (MSNQ), Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). After one week of using Lumosity, and then every other month for 12 months, participants would be asked to complete a short questionnaire about their experience with Lumosity. Every 3 months, participants would repeat the BPT, MSNQ, and BDI; and every 6 months, they would repeat the MSIS. Finally, at the end of the study, the end of the study they would also repeat the MOCA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LumosityDevice

    Lumosity offers a suite of online games focused on stimulating cognitive domains of attention, memory, cognitive flexibility, problem solving, and speed of processing. The Lumosity program may be well suited for cognitive remediation in individuals with MS.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Performance Characteristics and Usability measures of Lumosity, as measured by Self-Report Descriptive Questionnaires

    The primary objective is to determine performance characteristics and usability of Lumosity in individuals with MS as measured through qualitative questionnaires.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Efficacy of Lumosity in individuals with MS, as measured with the BPT

    To determine the efficacy of Lumosity in this study population as measured by change from baseline on the BPT Grand Index score and scaled subtest scores at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

    Measured: Change from baseline as measured at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  2. Efficacy of Lumosity in individuals with MS, as measured with the MSNQ

    To determine the efficacy of Lumosity in this study population as measured by

    • Change from baseline on the MSNQ at 12 months

    Measured: 1 Year

  3. Efficacy of Lumosity in individuals with MS, as measured with the MOCA

    To determine the efficacy of Lumosity in this study population as measured by

    • Change from baseline on the MOCA at 12 months

    Measured: 1 Year

  4. Efficacy of Lumosity in individuals with MS, as measured with the MSIS-29.

    To determine the efficacy of Lumosity in this study population as measured by

    • Change from baseline on the MSIS-29 at 12 months

    Measured: 1 Year

  5. Efficacy of Lumosity in individuals with MS, as measured with the BDI.

    To determine the efficacy of Lumosity in this study population as measured by

    • Change from baseline on the BDI at 12 months

    Measured: 1 Year

  6. Engagement - as measured by number of unique days played and number of games played

    To determine the level of engagement with Lumosity in individuals with MS as measured by number of unique days and number of games played

    Measured: 1 year

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Performance Characteristics and Usability measures of Lumosity, as measured by Self-Report Descriptive Questionnaires (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
